Schools in Zip Code 43340

ZIP code 43340 covers Mount Victory, Ohio, and contains two public schools serving a combined 451 students, both part of the Ridgemont Local district: Ridgemont High School (grades 6–12, 247 students) and Ridgemont Elementary School (grades K–5, 204 students). The district ranks 543 of 773 Ohio districts (30th percentile, 1 star). Ridgemont High School ranks 497 of 795 (37th percentile, 2 stars) and Ridgemont Elementary School ranks 1052 of 1560 (33rd percentile, 2 stars).

Each school has clear bright spots. Ridgemont High School is strong in social studies, with American Government at 84.4% proficient versus 71.6% statewide and American History at 74.5% versus 73.2%, and its 8th grade math result of 64.3% beats the state's 52.0%. It also reports a 100.0% graduation rate. Note that this "high school" also serves grades 6–8, so its results mix middle-school and high-school tests. Ridgemont Elementary School's standout is 5th grade English language arts at 79.5% versus 70.4% statewide — the only elementary test above the state average. The elementary school also has lower chronic absenteeism (9.2%) than the high school (13.6%) and the district (11.5%).

The concerns are concentrated in specific grades. Ridgemont High School was above the state in only 3 of 13 reported tests this year, down from 8 of 13 the year before, and 7th grade ELA fell to 32.3% versus 62.7% statewide. Its rank has slid from the 80th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–2024 to the 37th percentile with 2 stars now. Ridgemont Elementary School's rank has held steady but low, and math is the systemic weakness: it was below state in grades 3, 4, and 5, with 4th grade math at 34.5% versus 67.3%. Only 1 of 7 elementary tests topped the state. Free/reduced lunch is not reported, so economic context can't be assessed; spending figures are from 2018–2019, and student-teacher ratios (16.3 high school, 13.0 elementary) are from 2024–2025.
